Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob
is equipped with ‘Cooklight’ elements. These are very rapid-heating,
radiant elements with a high efficiency, which is very favourable for
heating-up times. What’s more, these elements also have very good
heat distribution. The ample space between the cooking zones makes
cooking comfortable.
Cooking on a ceramic hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Ceramic cooking makes use of heat radiation through the
glass top.
For optimum safety the ceramic hob is equipped with a childproof lock,
a cooking time limiter and a residual heat indicator, which shows which
cooking zones are still hot.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the
ceramic hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also find
background information that can assist you in using this product.
Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
Enjoy your cooking!

What you should pay attention to
• Ceramic cooking is extremely safe. Various devices have been
incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator and a
cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of precautions
you should take.
• Only type EVP4, EVP2... ovens fitted with a cooling fan may be
installed underneath cooking hobs GHT....
• Only Type EV4, EV2....combination ovens fitted with a cooling fan
may be installed underbeneath cooking hob GHD64B.
Connection and repair
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by an
authorized service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting any
repair work. Preferably unplug the appliance, switch the (automatic)
fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the switch
in the power supply lead to zero.
• When the cable is damaged it may only be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service organization or equally qualified persons, to
avoid dangerous situations.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to be
used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice a “new smell”.
This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell will soon
disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating time
will be incredibly short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone on a high setting.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected against
overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed and could be
damaged.
• The guarantee does not cover any damage caused by an unsuitable
pan or a pan boiling dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space or worktop.
SAFETY

EN 9
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance between the
bottom of the hob and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer under the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as a mixer,
cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for some time
afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during and after
cooking.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do not stand too
close to the pan. Should oil catch fire, never try to extinguish
• the fire with water. Put a lid on the pan immediately and switch the
cooking zone off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high flames could
cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable. A spice jar
or pointed utensil falling on it, for example, could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch the appliance
off immediately, unplug it to avoid electric shocks, and call the
service department.
• Never put any objects on the cooking zone. These can heat up
extremely quickly and cause burns.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are not to be
allowed near the device unsupervised.
• As soon as you switch off the cooking zone, the activity of the
heating element automatically stops. However, the heating element
and the glass plate will remain hot for a long time. Do not touch the
hob and remove the pan from the cooking zone.
• Accustom yourself to stop the cooking zone or hob manually to
• avoid unintended switching on of the ceramic hob.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
SAFETY

EN 10
Cooking time limiter
• The cooking time limiter is a safety function of your cooking
appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will
belimited as follows:
Setting The cooking zone switches off
automatically after:
012 hours
18,5 hours
26,5 hours
3 5 hours
4 4 hours
5 3,5 hours
6 3 hours
7 2,5 hours
8 2 hours
9 1,5 hours
The cooking time limiter switches off the cooking zones when the
time in the table has elapsed.
SAFETY

EN 11
USE
Using the touch controls
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to
other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to
achieve the best results. You do not have to apply any pressure.
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not
operate the controls with any other objects. The hob will not switch on
when for example your pet walks over it.
Pans
Pans for ceramic cooking
Ceramic cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
Attention
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric cooking with:
▷a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);
▷a flat base.
Pozor
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you
switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp - due to, for example, overheating or
the use of too high a power level.
Attention
• Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This will
prevent food remains ending up on the red-hot cooking zone. Burnt-
on food remains are difficult to remove. In addition, the handles may
become too hot and a lot of energy is lost.
• Do not use aluminium foil, such as the trays from ready-made
meals, for cooking food in. If aluminium foil melts on the cooking
surface, it cannot be removed. Aluminium foil is also a very poor
conductor of heat.

EN 12
USE
Attention
• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.
Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always
pick pans up to move them.
• Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
Tip
• Slide the bottom of the pan over a slightly damp cloth, before
placing the pan on the cooking zone. This prevents dirt getting on to
the cooking surface.
• The cooking zone can be switched off 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of the cooking time. The dish will then finish cooking on the
residual heat, provided you keep the lid on the pan.

EN 13
Switching on the hob and setting the power
The power has 9 levels.
• Put a pan on a cooking zone.
• Touch the On/Off button of the hob. You will hear a short beep and
the display for each cooking zone will show ‘0.’. The red light to
the right above the On/Off button is constantly illuminated. If no
further action is taken, the hob will automatically switch off after 10
seconds.
Use the + button or the - button in the desired cooking zone to choose
the correct setting. The hob will automatically start in the chosen setting.
